anybody needs wine, but because society does not
follow the path of actual need, but follows also
the path of pleasure Under the law of limiting
society to its needs-tea, coffee, cake and mince-

wine might remain, but whisky and opium

A Cat To Be Stunned.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9-Every strange cat in
Flatbush is given wide berth to night by the
Inhabitants, and the board of health is wrought
I'D to a high state of excitement over the COM
plications and disasters that may arise from the
wanderings of one feline that has mysteriously
disappeared. The family of Joseph Mauri were
stricken with smallpox few days ago. Mr.
Mauri died in the hospital this morning and his
wife and three children are down with the dis
ease.
The health board took possession of the Mauri
house yesterday and thoroughly fumigated it,
but they found this morning that a cat belong
ing to the household had strayed away, and they
fear that it will spread pestilence wherever it
may go. The animal was a pet of the children
and slept with them. This, of course, renders
the danger of infection more probable and a
search of the town ia being made for the animal

An Indiana Soldier Dead.

Mr.. Frank Jordan. an ex-soldler of Indiana,
died last Friday week at Lincoln, D. T. He was
we'll known to Indiana veterans and to the men,
bers of the Grand Army. He was the son of
Mrs D. M. Jordan, the well-known poetess, re-
siding at Richmond, where the burial occurred.
He was highly esteemed, as evinced by the
honors paid his mortal remains. A local paper
says of the funeral services:
1.-THE soldiers met at the Grand Army Hall at
o'clock. At 2, under the command of Captain
Pollock, with flags at half mast and draped in
mourning, with the drums muff1ed and with
slow and solemn tread, they marched to the
residence of Mr. Jordan, on North Sixth street,
and accompanied the remains from there to the
Episcopal Church, where the religious services
were held. The coffin was wrapped in his coun-
trys flag At its head was a stand, cross and a
star. all combined in one piece and made out of
various kinds of flowers and plants. 1t was pre-
sented with the compliments of F. w.
Beach A large harp of bloom stood near 1t
was presented by Miss Minnie Hantey. of In
dianapolis. A large basket of splendid flowers.
presented by Miss Anna Reed, sat near the foot
OF the. coffin. The soldiers presented a large
wreath handsome and emblematic. After the
services at st. Paul's were over the procession
with the drum corps at its head, marched to
Earlham Cemetery, where the mortal part of
Frank Jordan laid to rest The burial
services were those provided by the rules and
regulations of the regular army of the United
States, j. " Rowlett officiating as chaplain, and

Something About Two Jackson County Legis-
Iators Whose Seats May BE Contested.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
SEYMOUR, Ind. Jan. 9-The contested cleo
ton case of Senator Mcdonald, of Jackson
county, and the probability of contest being
filed against Representative Shields, also OF
Jackson county, has directed particular attention
to these two members of the General Assembly.
W. N. Mcdonald, Republican. who was elected
joint Senator from jackson and Lawrence coun-
ties by majority of six hundred, is Of Scotch
extraction; his father, a native of Kentucky,
settled in Vernon township. this county, in 1928.
'Nels," as the Senator is Familiarity called at
home, is a true type of the native Hoosier, tall
and raw boned born among the giant oaks of
Jackson county. He daily displayed his faculty
for taking advantage of his surroundings; he
felled the oak, and by working it
into slaves caused the monarch of the
wood" to drop the dollars almost as
thick about him. as it had once dropped the
acorns about his rural home. He is probably
the most extensive stave dealer In Indiana, and
really has time to be a statesman. 1t is not
expected by his constituents that he will cause
the dome of the Capitol to tremble with his elo-
quence, but regarding his honesty. good judg-
ment and his fidelity to Repubiicanism, there is
no shadow of doubt He will meet every at
tempt to rob him of his lawful rights with a
Scotch stubbornness. crossed with Kentucky
grit and Hooser fairness
William H. Shields, Democrat. elected Repre-
sentative from jackson county, is native of the
county he represents. His father, the late Capt.
Needy W. Shields, native of Sewer county
Tennessee, a grandson of Stocton Shields. Of
Virginia. a captain in the Revolutionary
NJ W. Shields moved to Corydon, Ind. in 1911.
He settled in jackson county in 1916, when
there were but six white families in the county.
In 1858 he laid out the town of Seymour. He was
member of the Indiana Legislature il 1876
and 1S4S; in 1852 was elected Senator from
jackson and Scott counties; in 1856 he was again
elected to the Senate from Jennings and jackson
counties; in 1860 he was delegate TO the
Charleston convention. He left an estate valued
at over $500, 900. w. Fl. Shields. an uncle of the
present ber was member of the Legsla-
ture in 1910 w. H. Shields the member elected
to serve in the present House. is man of fine
physique. He is not politician, in the true
sense, although tutored in the school of Jason
Brown. 1t is not expected that Mr.. Shields will
be Democratic leader if he retains his seat in
the House, having ambition to be q states
man. He is noted for his cleverness and his
fidelity to the Democracy of his father. He is
somewhat Of aristocrat, and will take more
interest in securing the best hotel and the best
seat in the House than in legislation or parlia-
mentary usages.

made his first pulpit appearance since his SEN

the experience from which he emerged
on New Years day. The previous announcement
of his titles, "The Great Defender" in the
morning, and The just Judge" in the evening,
drew crowds to the building which could not
accommodate all who came. At the close of the
services many pressed their way forward to
shake hands with the minister, the reception
lasting nearly an hour each time.
